.. well this is usually correct, from girls point of view:there are always at least five girls trying to get the attention onjust one guy. To us, only one guy will do and we love it whenmore girls are fighting over him; it means he's that much moredesirable to keep... after all, who wants a black-guy-type that whines more than the bitches he grew-up with T_T .. .. answer: NOBODY!!!.. one kind guy will usually stay with you for the rest of your life;anything else is not worth knowing!! ( either they're kind or GAY! )

Harem shows aren't the only types hit with the unproportionate stick; its moe animation in general. Its supposed to be targeted towards guys and girls (and moreso guys if there's girl fanservice towards the guy).I could care less about a harem as long as its got another genre that overpowers the harem/ecchi'ness: meaning it could be drop-dead hilarious and/or actually have a plot (like CLANNAD, and School Rumble sorta).

Actually, you might want to try following Hoshizora e Kakeru Hashi, since even though there's a whole pile of girls, the three guys balance it out pretty well - the little brother changes the dynamic of the show especially.
